Speedy The Cat's Friends Challenge Week 83 - Make It Masculine

Hello I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends. And for those of you that were brave enough to tackle black Friday were able to find lots of great deals. As for me I stayed home at eat leftovers, played games with the family and spent a little time in my girl cave. So on to this weeks Speedy The Cat's Friends Challenge.   Linda challenges us to make a masculine card. I whipped this up this card up the other day in just a few minutes so it would be a great one to make when you need something in a hurry. I used A Trip To Lancaster that was just released earlier this week.
I hope that you can play along with us this week. If you do you have a chance to win at set from Mark's Finest Papers, and if you use a MFP stamp you get your name in twice. Thank you for stopping by.

Hello and welcome to day two of Mark's Finest Papers November Blog Hop.  Today we are sharing projects made with A Trip To Lancaster.  This is a great set to work with and is very easy to make masculine cards.  I love using red and kraft card stock with these images.  For my card I colored with copics and then sponged in the ground and sky with memento inks.

MFP Nov Blog Hop Day #1

Hello! Welcome to Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Company's November Blog Hop!
This month's New Stamp Set Releases are
Peaceful Nuthatch
A Trip to Lancaster
What a Fox


Before I get to my projects I have to say that I am very excited as this is my first official blog hop as a senior design team member for Mark's Finest Paper's.  For today we are sharing samples made with Peaceful Nuthatch.  I have to say I love the cute little nuthatch and have so much fun coloring it.  For my first card I used the larger of the two images and used colored pencils with OMS.  After cutting out the image with a nestabilities die and before removing it from the die, I sponged with memento new sprout and bamboo leaves.
Next I stole an idea from my mom (Geri)  and made a snow globe that I bought at Michaels.
 And here is the other side.

Speedy The Cat's Friends Challenge~Favortie Technique

Hello this week Patty challenges us to make a card or project using your favorite technique. I have several techniques that I love, but for this challenge I picked sponging. I sponge on most of my card some more than others. I love to create scenes by sponging. So I gave myself a little extra challenge and created this scene card without any coloring other than sponging.
I used stamps from a new set from Mark's Finest Papers called A Trip to Lancaster. This set will be available very soon. I hope you can play along with us this week as one lucky entrant will win a stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers and if you use a MFP stamp you will get your name in twice!  Now head over to Mark's Finest Papers blog and check out the gorgeous creations from the rest of the design team.  Thank you for stopping by.
